The Asian Vegetarian option for international flights is OK. Do not order it on domestic flights!. The last 3 times I've done it, I got oatmeal. I could understand congee, perhaps. But oatmeal?? Since when is Oatmeal Asian?
Just remember, on United, any flight that even comes close to a morning hour (never mind that it arrives at 6:30 pm) gets breakfast. Why? Because it's dirt cheap. Of course, oatmeal is dirt cheapest of all. So that's what United wants to give you for your $2500 fare.
